That author has the best name for a fake ID I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

That's definitely Roger from American Dad.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Definitely seems like the name of someone who coined the term “golfercide” because he’s worried about having his own head lopped off.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It was either that or Mohammed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

And you chose McLovin

Disembowelment for golfing?!? Like cut your guts and let them hang out of you - for golfing?!?! If they are going to sell the golf course, that's fine but don't cut me!

If you golf you deserve it tbh

Most people feel a bit attacked when disemboweled, I imagine

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not as much as the attack on biodiversity that golf courses create.

Or you, when people tell you that you look like you.

Name yourself GolfGuyBallWhacker and join the war on lawns in the side of the environment.

It's the first step of the recipe to cook and eat the rich

[–] Chakravanti 6 points 8 months ago

Yup. I just ate breakfast but I'm still this kind of hungry.

Finally, that tired excuse of a sport has no reason to exist

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

What else are we supposed to do? Humans are running out of creative ways to advance our destructive powers as is, think of all the negative ecological & sociological effects, the senseless overconsumption, the shitty superiority complex apparently necessary to play, etc.

I too sometimes forget they call it a sport, there must be a funny story behind that as it's obviously ironical.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Reject golf, embrace disc golf (ideally in a naturally wooded area with minimal deforestation)

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Yay, more high-rises to half-build and abandon!

[–] [email protected] 51 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Complained the countries that have housing crisis.

I rather a place were growing population get to live comfortably over an empty space for rich people to kick a ball around.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I have no love for golf courses, but also no faith in the Chinese economy to actually deliver on this (obviously satirical) proposal.

Watch this video. Those massive half-built apartment complexes are not meant for people to live in, they're investments to own ~~by the kind permission of pooh bear~~. They're basically treated like NFTs that occupy real space and never get finished because there is no profit in making them livable once they have an owner.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

You don't kick a golf ball, typically.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is public housing, meaning the funding is coming from the government. They'll be lucky if it gets as far as quarter built.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

China's government is actually pretty good at getting things done

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

unfortunately for a lot of minorities

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

The goal is to also get rid of r🤮ch people

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Great! When can we start?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Oh no think about golf cart drivers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

i dont see the problem of having one course available for not-rich people to use and play the sport. are they really THAT wasteful?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

just play mini golf it's like regular golf but not boring as fuck (and more environmentally friendly)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Finally, AI starting to have that "only a human could have come up with something this random" Turing Test feel to it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

What happens if you're just caught on a driving range?
